I love sharing food. If you ask me, it’s the best way to eat out, because if you share you get to taste more things! Everybody orders their fave, and everybody gets to sample it all. My new favorite place for sharing food is Lemonade. It’s a bright and cheery cafeteria-style spot, perfect for a quick bite or for sitting and relaxing with pals for a while.
Mr. Lovely and I recently stopped in and shared a plateful of their maketplace sides – gorgeous salads full of fresh ingredients. They call it “California comfort food,” and that’s about as perfect a description as I can think of. Definitely try our fave – avocado, cherry tomato, pine nuts, and lime. Excuse me? It was like grown-up guacamole and I never wanted it to stop. We also fought over who got the last bite of the chili roasted butternut squash. And a super cool thing is that at the counter while you’re ordering, they’ll let you do a little taste test if you can’t decide. (They also have a full menu of salads, soups, and hot dishes.)
The joint is called Lemonade, so clearly you have to try the beverage of choice. My dude got the Old Fashioned (classic, sweet, and tart), and I got Watermelon Rosemary. And I hereby proclaim that henceforth if my lemonade doesn’t have watermelon or rosemary in it, heads will roll.
And like any good eatery, there’s a glorious little case full of adorable looking sweets. Mr. Lovely opted for a Pink Lemonade cupcake (they’re only a buck!). I was trying to abstain, but I will say that I stole some frosting when he wasn’t looking and it was perfection.
If you’re in LA, you gotta try it! xoxo
Wow, looks like a total blast! I wish we had this place in G-rap. This menu sounds absolutely tantalizing!
This is our most favorite place!!! They just opened one two blocks away from us and it’s quite glorious. The avocado is definitely my go-to and we love the blueberry mint lemonade and the peach ginger. Oh, and the PB chocolate chip cookie. And just pretty much everything… so delicious!
This post makes me wish I lived in LA! This looks right up my alley!!

Looks like a great place to visit the food looks delicious.
Yum! Lemonade is always a treat. I love their beet and cauliflower creations. And their mac n cheese. Their cupcakes too. duh
That looks amazing. I love flavored lemonade! So far I am a fan of Wendy’s but then again, I don’t have fancy restaurants to visit either.
I went to this place in Venice Beach! IT was so good and I had the Watermelon and Lavender lemonade. YUM!
Love the pink nail polish- a happy switch from that sentimental green 😉
Sounds like a delicious place to eat! 🙂
